My hard drive died, how can I get my pictures back from iPad onto a new library on the hard drive?

Hi there,
I have a Mac Book, and as it's a little older, and was getting full, I moved my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. This external hard drive was always plugged in, and iPhoto used it as it's store so to speak.
However, the hard drive has died which means I now have no access to any of my photo's.
As I sync both my iPad and iPhone to iphoto in it entirity, at the minute I have ALL my photos on both my iPad and my iPhone.
How can I recover the photo's onto my mac or new hard drive from the ipad or iphone? I don't dare plug either in at the minute as I don't want the Sync to remove the photos.
HELP! Please!
James

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • How can I get specific files back from my Time Machine backup?

    I wanted to make a fresh install on my MacBook Pro, in order to only have Java 8 instead of any older Java versions. So far so good. But now I want to get specific files/libraries from my external backup (USB):
    One Parallels Virtual Machine
    My old mail
    My iPhoto Library
    I don't need any settings for these, since I can easily configure them again.
    I already used the Migration Assistent to restore all apps.
    How can I get specific data back from the backup without restoring all stuff that I don't want anymore?
    I'm now working on a new account on the fresh system, called 'Admin'. My old account was called 'Hans' (or 'hans') and I'd like to create such an account again for all my tasks.

    You will want to add the same User account(s) which hold the data you want to restore. So you will want to add a User account of 'Hans or hans'. Check your Time Machine back up drive to see how the User account is labeled (Hans or hans). Navigate to the Users folder and see how it's labeled.
    You can then use your Time Machine back up drive and navigate to the User Home folder to copy its data over (e.g. contents from Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, etc.). Repeat for other Users.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • How can I get my photos back from icloud after an upgrade?

    So I recently upgraded my iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5s last Wednesday. I had made sure to back it up with icloud 3 times on 3 different days prior to this. I received my new phone and it was backing up perfectly. Till I realized that my 1,500 photos hadn't uploaded and my phone wasn't letting me take pictures. It had only let me download about 300. I am devastated by the loss of these pictures. I have restored my phone multiple times and it still downloads the same pictures. I have no other problems. I called Apple and they said that the icloud only backed up these 300 pictures and my other ones were lost. But yet there were no signs of my backup being incomplete. How can I get my pictures back?

    Hi sadie,
    When you did the backup, were the 1500 pictures all on your camera roll? Or were they on other Albums?
    iCloud is not a storage device for your photos. You should be importing them to a computer or uploading them to a cloud storage facility like DropBox or Flickr.
    Each time you do a backup of to iCloud, it creates a backup of what is on your phone at that moment in time. So, if you had some photos on one backup, but not the other, you would only be able to "recover" the photos from one of those backups. Photos in iCloud are not aggregative.
    Also, the iCloud backup of photos only includes those photos or videos in the Camera Roll. Photos in any other album are not backed up:

    If you had PhotoStream turned on, then the last month's-worth of PhotoStream, or the last 1000 PhotoStream photos would also still be viewable.
    Can you tell us where those 1500 photos were located when you did your backup?
    Sorry that you lost your photos. Take a look at DropBox in the App Store, or check out Flickr. If you aren't importing your photos on a regular basis to a computer, then these would be your best bet to protect your photos going forward.

  • I have lost my phone and have no backup, how can I get my pictures back?

    I have lost my phone and have no backup. How can I get my pictures back?

    Without a backup, you cannot recover data.  This is a basic tenet of data.
    Did you perhaps have iCloud Photostream enabled?

  • IPhoto update from Mavericks deleted my library. How can I get my pictures back?

    Soo my iPhoto just decided not to find my photo library anymore.
    When I open iPhoto, it only opens a windwo where I can decide which library I want to open, but gives me no choices, the list is empty. Normally this window opens when my external HD is connected to my macbook since then there's two iPhotos available, but now it just doesnt find even one.
    I had another problem with the iPhoto on my external HD, i wanted to open it but a window opened to tell me that my library is used by another programm or that the library can't be read anymore. I was able to save those pictures by showing the contents and copying the pictures.
    Buuuut now on the macbook, when I do the left click thing to open the contents of the package, there are no pictures in it at all, no folder has pictures in it. When I copy the version from time machine, nothing changes. iPhoto has a size of 1.7 Gb, which is way to small. God dammit.
    How can I get my pictures back?

    Thank you Terence!
    Okay, so here the details:
    iPhoto Version 9.5.1
    OS X Version 10.9.1
    So here what I did, detailed. (pardon my english, I'm swiss)
    I downloaded Mavericks, few days later updated iPhoto (the iPhoto icon was orange before and turned blue after the update). All went well, until one month later, all of a sudden, I was not able to open my iPhoto on the external harddisk. A window opened to tell me that either my library is being used by another programm or that it can't be read anymore. To solve this problem iPhoto tells me to do several things, for example shut down the computer and then open iPhoto again, or set up my library again or open iPhoto by pressing command and alt. But non of those instructions helped. So I opened the contents, I looked for the folder with the masters of my pictures and copied the whole thing onto another harddisk.  
    I think I got those Pics saved, but I still can't open iPhoto on the external harddisk.
    Oh and by the way, the iPhoto icon on my external harddisk looks different now, it's three pictures in a row and the one on top shows a redish flower.
    So now, two days later I try to open the iPhoto on my regular macbook. A window pops up and says that I have to choose a library that I want to open. (iPhoto usually did that when I had my external harddisk connected since there were two different librarys then, one on my external, one on my computer) But now, instead of showing me the library's I can choose from it only shows nothing, no list or anything i could even choose. And then below there's this button that says something like "create a new library".
    So what I did:
    I open the contents and looked for the masters of my pictures, but there weren't any pictures at all. The iPhoto has a size of 1.7 GB which I think is too small for all the Pics and videos i stored in there.
    I tried to get the IPhoto from Time Machine, but nothing changed. Iphoto still's 1.7 GB.
    I opened the file "Pictures" in the Finder, but there's no such file like "iPhoto library", like it's deleted or something like that.
    So i think that I used iPhoto usually, nothing speciall. I imported Pictures from my iPhone or camera and left them there.
    Does that help?

    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting some of them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your phone? If you haven't then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload

  • How can i retrieva all my backed up content onto my new phone plz

    how can i retreive all my backed up data onto my new phone plz

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • How can I get an ImageIcon back from a JToggleButton...

    When I create a JToggleButton I have to create an ImageIcon and pass it to the constructor.
    e.g. JToggleButton toggleButtonA = new JToggleButton( new ImageIcon( "images/A.gif" ) );
    But when I want to get that ImageIcon back, all I can find in the documentation is getIcon(), which is much more limited in what I can do with it.
    How can I get my ImageIcon back?
    I've seen some people just paint the button on a new ImageIcon, but then it's not the same image, it has the button look around the original icon, not to mention since it's a toggle button you actually get the selectedIcon() instead.
    Please help. Thanks.

    All you basically have to do is use getIcon() and cast it to an ImageIcon... here's an example:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class ImageIconGrab {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("ImageIcon Grabber");
    JToggleButton jtb = new JToggleButton(new ImageIcon("pregoico.gif"));
    ImageIcon ii = (ImageIcon) jtb.getIcon();
    JToggleButton jtb2 = new JToggleButton(ii);
    frame.getContentPane().add(jtb, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.getContentPane().add(jtb2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
